Question

What is the result of factoring out the GCF from the expression (24 + 36)?

A)12 × (12 + 18)
B)12 × (2 + 3)
C)6 × (8 + 12)
D)12 × (4 + 6)

Answer 1

The answer s B) 12 multiplied by is 24 and 12 multiplied by 3 is 36 the expression in the parenthesis (24+36)

Answer 2

Option B is correct .i.e., 12 × ( 2 + 3 )

Explanation:

we are Given an Expression = 24 + 36

we have to find an Expresion after factoring out GCF

Full form of GCF is Greatest Common Factor.

First we find factors of 24 and 36 then their GCF

factors of 24 - 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24

factors of 36 - 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 13, 36

⇒ GCF = 12

W have,

24 + 36

⇒ 12 × 2 + 12 × 3

⇒ 12 × ( 2 + 3 )

Therefore, Option B is correct .i.e., 12 × ( 2 + 3 )
